I wouldn't pay Harper for that, but it seems reasonable considering all of the money in baseball right now (tv contracts, team valuations, etc.). I do think there is a bubble coming at some point.
Betts was being reasonable.
And if you wanted others to stop talking about Betts, the worst way to do it is for yourselves to constantly talk about Betts and assume what other posters are going to say on some theoretical gamethread months from now.
I wonder if they aren't concerned about loading up on Quantril in April since he's only maxed out at 150 innings before. Maybe they'll be ease him in slowly?
I think there's a legitimate competition between Arauz and Lin. I wonder if the Sox stick with Arauz and try to sneak Lin through waivers at the very end of ST.
A month later.

Red Sox signed C Jonathan Lucroy to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
The deal was agreed upon early Tuesday morning and has now been made official after Lucroy arrived at Red Sox camp in Florida on Wednesday and passed his physical. Lucroy struggled to a .232/.305/.355 batting line with eight home runs and 36 RBI in 101 games last season between the Angels and Cubs, but he'll get a chance to compete with Kevin Plawecki for the backup job behind Red Sox starting catcher Christian Vazquez.
